WORSE THAN NATIVE NEGROES
Minister Taylor's Account Of the
ColOred Americans Who
Inherit Liberia.

WASHINGTON, November 27.-Mr.
Chas. H. J. Taylor, Minister Of the
United States to Liberia, has rendered
his resignation, to take effect in Jan
uary next. lie is now in this city on
leave of absence. One reason for his
resignation, he said, was the danger
ously unhealthy climate. He had
also been disappointed in the charac'
ter of the ciyilized negroes sent over
there. He said: 'lnstead Of 3 ma
lority of the civilized negroes being
honest, sober. industrious and self
reliant, l found a condition Of things
that diplomatic reserve will not allow
me to describe. The native Africans
are superior in every way to the CIV
ilized negroes sent there, and are
susceptible of the very highest civil
zation.' The country" be further
said, lis a rich one, abounding in
grains, timber and minerals, but the
condition Of things is such that no
wide awake man would care to live
there longer than two weeks"

Paradise and He'll.
Edqefeld Chronicle.

"An argument has lately been
presented by learned divine to
show that the Garden of Eden was
located not far from Charleston, S.
C. AS it has been held that ''the
other place. which Bob Ingersoll
says does not exist. was near Para
disc, the fact that Edgefeld is not
far from Charleston is a fact IN favor
of the theory Washington Repub-
licdn.
1t delights US when the Radicals
and Republicans speak Of Edge6eld
as hell" For truly Edgefeld has
been "hell'' to them and their party
in South Carolina. And we are
eternally proud that it is SO. Yes,
when we remember Edge6eld's su.
.perb and indomitable grit in the
days of '76, we may wc'l say she has
been "hell' to the Republican party
n South Caro- lima. and thereby more
r less to the party at large. The
Washington Republican could not
have afforded US more joy or q
greater triumph than by the weak
little fling which we publish above.

BORN IN A COFFIN.
A Remarkable Story from Clarendon.
Clarendon Enterprise, Nor. "a.

Clarendon Enterprise, N0r. ~.
We are told by gentleman whose
veracity is unquestioned that the fol-
lowing incident actually occurred.
1t is hard to believe, but here it is ::
On Wednesday last a colored woman
seventeen years old, who lives on
Mr.. Wash Iolladay's place, near
Summerton, in this county, died, or
was supposed to have died. A coffin
was purchased from Mr.. Levi, of
Manning, and the woman's body,
dressed in grave clothes, placed
therein. The darkeys had a regular
Irish wake that night, and the next
day the burial was to come off,.
When the funeral train was about
half way to tne grave the pall-bearers
heard a crying noise come from the
coffin, and, supposing a cat had been
shut mp IN it, set it down and at once
opened it. Upon removing the lid,
to their utter surprise, the woman
was alive, and new born babe
shared with her the narrow bed. Of
course tie ral!-1earers and mourners
generally fed, terror. stricken, and it
was s me time before any one mi l.
istered unto the once dead woman
and her infant. Both the woman
and child were alive on Saturday
last, aud doing we'll. Our informant
says he heard of the occurrence, and
not giving it credulity asked the
uncle Of the woman and the above
statement was the information be
gained.

Cicero, Sissero or Kickero
From the Hdshiagt0n Star.

The irrepressible conflict between
.'Sissero' and "kickero" has broken
out afresh. 1t is desirable that the
pronunciation Of Latin be as nearly
uniform as possible among scholars
in all parts of the world. The ten
dency is towards the so-called Roman
method. If his fellow Romans called
Cicero kickero, We might as well
humor them and him in the matter,
especially as we willingly hazard
tongue dislocation by attempting to
follow the foreign pronunciation of
modern European proper names.

DR. Bacon :: d His Elders.

SAVANNAH, November 26.-To

congregation of the Independent
Presbyterian Church. There is a
possibility that scene will occur.
Col. Olmstead and Mr.. Wakelee, two
of the elders, rendered their resigna.
ton, which the sessions of the church
decline to accept on the ground that
elders mark their VOWS to God and
cannot resign them to man. DR.. b.
